Italian Penicillin Soup

Print Recipe

A heartwarming vegetable soup bursting with vibrant flavors, perfect for cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup kale or spinach, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, cooking until they are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and oregano for about a minute until the kitchen is filled with their warm aroma.
  2. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat and add the kale or spinach, allowing it to cook until it wilts and turns a vibrant green, which should take about 3 minutes.
  3. Finish with salt, pepper, and a splash of fresh lemon juice just before serving, stirring gently to combine all those delightful flavors.

Notes

For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika when sautéing the vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
